What if we took every character who Optimus Prime mentored (and they're the ones that are often in charge when Optimus isn't or when he's dead) and made them a prime. Simultaneously.

Tfp Smokescreen? A prime. Literally any version of Hot Rod? Rodimus Prime time. Bumblebee? He's a prime now. Sam Witwicky? Yeah he fits the criteria. Beast wars Cheetor? Mmhm he's a prime now.

Literally any character that can be compared to TFA Optimus or G1 Rodimus: they're a prime now. Canonically there were originally 13 primes, i wanna make an au continuity where we get as MANY DAMN PRIMES AS WE CAN and obviously no one is sure if it's an omen or if it's a sign for things being better.

The chaos, the learning leadership stuff, the variety, Primus laughing his metaphysical aft off, so many opportunities for angst and fluff and domestic-ey scenes and arguing and betrayal and healing and yes

#transformers #this issss more or less a clusterfuck #thirteen primes #writing ideas #i love the idea of having multiple people in a position that's traditionally/usually solo #oh and I'm not going the TFA route where being a prime is simply a position. no i want damn confusion and meaning to thissssss #^w^ so much chaos between characters that have similarities in personality and role but ultimately are quite different from each other #optimus does sadly have to get killed off in order for this to work. and stay dead for long enough for it to really set in #... waut a minute maybe maybe we'd have a ghost!optimus like how in g1 starscream becomes a ghost?#idk if i want the matrix to get split up or for them to all have shared custody of it
